“We have to go through a process of qualification which is the Oceania. It’s quite difficult right now in terms of our team to plan what’s ahead because there’s disruptions regarding COVID-19.”

The national coach adds they have been in constant contact with Oceania Rugby who will set a date early next year.

“I believe it’s the understanding from World Rugby, Oceania and Fiji Rugby to lock the dates for the tournaments to compete and qualify in.”

Adi Cakobau School sprinter, Naomi Navuga will be one of the new faces that will join the national squad in camp next week.

Meanwhile, you can watch the Vancouver 7s live on Sunday and Monday on FBC TV and FBC Sports channels.
